CONTAINER FORV DENTAL IMPRESSION OUTFITS.

Application filed November 2.2, 192442 Serial No. 751,596, and in France November 28, `1923.

The obj ect of my invention is to provide a case or chest containing in a compact manner and, due to tight closure, protecting against dust, weather or temperature influences andgenerally against any detrimental contact the materials, tools, instruments, accessories and all utensils used by dental surgeons for taking plaster impressions.

In order to make my invention more l0 clearly understood I have illustrated, as an example, an embodiment thereof in and by -drawings appended hereto and wherein:

Figure l is a front view of the case opened to show the inside arrangements. Y,

Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the 'case closed.

Figure 3 is a detail sectional part view showing more particularly the spatulavholders.

In all the figures the same reference numbers denote the same parts. I wish itto be understood that any modiiications introduced not only as regards the material used for making the case or container proper, but also 'as regards the form of the piece of furniture, chest, box, glass case or any other constituting the said container can have nothing to do with the characteristics of my invention.

In the embodiment shown the containeris in the form of a chest made of pressed sheet iron in two parts 1, 2 united together by hinges 3 and closing as hermetically as possible. The closing is ensured by means of a latch 4 with an outside handle 5 or by any other means. 1

Inside, in the upper portion of each of parts 1, 2 are set horizontal rails 6 bent at the end and intended to carry the impression-v der the shelf 8, encloses the salt intended to be mixed with the plasterl to accelerate the hardening thereof. v

Plaster is'contained in a box 11 made of metal or of any other suitable material and the mouth of said box is closed by means lof a l hermetic stopper fitted with a rubber joint. Said box rests on ra sheet ironV plate 12 provided with a front flange and with an a erture 18 permitting a hand to be passed tirough to lift the plaster box and release it from the housing.

0n the same plate 12 are located the Yrubbor cups 14 in a suitable number.

Lastly, in the space existing between cups 14 and shelf 8 is arranged the spatula-holder. The spatulas 15 kept inthe oblique slots k16 of pieces 17 suitably cross-braced, can be readily grasped, pieces 17 being adapted to slide along rails 18 in order'to bring the spatulas in front of shelf '8.

In the embodiment shown a mirror 19 is case or container could be made of cornerirons connected by sheet-iron or any other plates.

The container may just as well be in the form of a piece of furniture, of a glass case carried on legs or applied against a wall or in the form of a. shelf of such size as will facilitate itsbeing shifted or moved about with all the products and appliances contained therein.

Having now particularly ascertained and Ydescribed the nature of my said invention as well as the manner in which the same is to be performechl declare that what I claim is:

1. In a container for dental impression outfits embodying a pair of hinged shells, a

spatula rack, means projecting from the wall .of one shell, means connecting the rackto `|the projecting means whereby the rack is movable outwardly and inwardly of the shell, and inclined slots in the rack adapted lation to each other, and a member slidfor the reception of spatulas.V ably litted on each rail for movement out- Y 2.
